LUST, JEALOUSY, FARCE, AND INNUENDO

“I’M READY TO COMMIT A FOLLY. WILL YOU JOIN ME?” ~ LUCIENNE

Wildly farcical and deliciously entertaining, this French classic opens our season. Mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and double entendres combine to form this dizzying series of madcap mix-ups. Will Raymonde and Lucienne’s attempt to expose Victor’s infidelity backfire? Or will the dim-witted hotel porter – who bears an uncanny resemblance to our leading man – foil their scheme. Only time and a few slamming doors will tell!

LA PUCE A L’OREILLE (A FLEA IN HER EAR) WAS THE BASIS FOR THE 1968 FILM STARRING REX HARRISON AND ROSEMARY HARRIS.

"The pace so ELECTRIC, the staging SUPERB and the result so ROLLICKING" - Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun
